Printing Tools Bundled with IRIX
The Impressario graphical printing tools, formerly the Impressario Client
product, are now part of the print product, which is bundled with the
operating system starting with IRIX release 5.2.
These tools are integrated into the new-generation Silicon Graphics user
environment, Indigo Magic. These tools include:
- Active desktop icons for real-time status and drag-and-drop printing.
- Printer Manager, a graphical tool that simplifies printer installation
and networking.
- PrintPanel, a graphical tool for customizing and submitting print jobs.
- PrintStatus, a graphical tool for monitoring printer operational status and queues.
You do not need to purchase Impressario if:
- You require only generic printer support. Support for generic PostScript and text printers is bundled with the IRIX operating system. These printers cannot directly accept the wide range of file formats supported by Impressario printers.
- You only use printers over the network. Network printing is supported in IRIX.
- You do not require scanning support.
- You do not need to develop printing or scanning software applications.
The Impressario Server product provides support
for scanners and printers directly connected to a Silicon Graphics workstation.
The Impressario Developer's Kit is for printer
and scanner device driver developers and
for software developers who need to scan and print from their applications.
